07/11 What’s Up, Doc?
Quote From: dbtrainsboy am I curious about this one. How can kids that old really not use the toilet? What can you do about something that socially mal-adjusted? do they wet themselves or soil themselves wear adult diapers do they just not clean themselves? do they go out in public?
What do the parents do? Are they normal people? I have a nine year old boy with this problem and have had him to the doctor several times, she told me the same thing that was said on Dr. Phil today that he needs to be completely cleaned out and set on the toilet after every meal. They go just enough to relieve the pressure so it seems like they are constantly going in their pants. He does not wet himself and yes he will generally hold it until he gets home. He has never gone at school. He was potty trained at two years old. This problem started when he was almost four. Until I saw this on Dr. Phil I was ready to take him to a child psychologist, as parents of a child with this problem we do not just sit back and watch or ignore this problem we search for answers and reasons. I have tried for years to help my child and now I will try the method I saw on Dr. Phil today and instead of blaming the parents I wish them luck.
